Lawrence police work outside HyVee, 3504 Clinton Parkway, after witnesses reported a man with a shotgun in the area.

Witnesses reported seeing two men engaged in a disturbance in the parking lot on the east side of the store, and one of them had a shotgun, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley.

Police believe the suspect fled in a vehicle. However, police have yet to locate the other man involved.

A witness who asked not to be named said he was driving west on Clinton Parkway toward Kasold Drive when he saw two men on the northwest corner of Clinton Parkway. He said one man drew a shotgun from a black bag and pointed it at the other man.

"He just stood there," the witness said of the man at whom the gun was pointed. "That's all I saw because I was turning. As soon as I saw him, I took off real fast."

McKinley said police are checking any surveillance cameras in the area, and they hope to release a better suspect and vehicle description.

McKinley is also asking any witnesses, who may have fled during the incident, to contact police at 830-7430

Oh, come on, Sage, you're nothing but a troll, and your trolling has gotten you disappeared from this site numerous times. And your barely controlled rage will likely get you removed again, probably sooner rather than later.

I remember a guy who had comments removed because they were "racially tinged." He was eventually removed altogether--banned, they call it--, but he came back under another name. "Racially tinged" comments were then removed, then he was removed altogether once again. Then he came back again ... and again ... and ...

Time to quit whining and put on your big girl panties and buy your own newspaper to spew your hatred, racism and bigotry. Of course, on the other hand, your comments have convinced hundreds to vote Obama, so keep on spewin'. In fact, if we could send you on tour to the swing states and encourage you to tell the full story of your twisted perspective, you'd see Republicans line up to distance themselves from you and your ilk.

Oh sure, because the best way to demonstrate your opposition to Socialism/Communism is to post birther bunk.

Your racist strategy to potray the President as something he is not (Kenyan and Muslim) is failing hugely on the national level. Sooner or later, those dog whistles you keep blowing are going to be too filled with your froth for them to work.

Our fall festival is at hand and I'm fleeing it to go hunt ducks on the Walnut river above the Cheyenne Bottoms. That's the good news. The bad news is that the forecast highs out there are in the 80's this weekend. Dang. Oh, well, we're taking metal detectors and will hit some old school and homestead sites as well as a verified Custer campsite. Thet metal detecting is just like hunting: go expecting the worst and if you get anything, it's all good!

Said an anonymous "witness" who admits he was scared and purposely drove away without seeing what the result of the exchange was. It's just possible that there was a perfectly legal sale involved, maybe even of a shotgun. I've bought rifles in the WalMart parking lot before and it could have looked exactly the same.

If someone went to the police and claimed that another man pointed a shotgun at him or threatened him, that's one thing. But an imagined "crime" that occurs out of the sight of a fleeing witness is hardly a story, no?

Maybe it was a Craig List sale of a shotgun in which the meeting place for the sale was a neutral place, which in this case was the store parking lot. That kind of transaction is legal, The seller had the gun in a black gun case, took it out to show the buyer. The buyer bought the gun and they both left the area. Seems logical to me. Maybe the sky is not falling after all.
